It's his (Dylan's) view of America. It harks back to the Fifties, the Sixties, (Jack) Kerouac, the road and how important the road is, I guess, to all Americans.

Now a gallery in London is showing some of the artwork of the surprise winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature, Bob Dylan, in an exhibition entitled ‘The Beaten Path’.

The most iconic of American troubadours, Dylan is not only a singer-songwriter but has been drawing and painting American landscapes as he has been travelling across the country.

“He was born in small town America and, obviously, made his way to New York, but has done hundreds of tour dates a year, for many, many, many years. So he has crisscrossed the whole of America and often played in the smaller towns – and wanted to play in the smaller towns – so it truly is the beaten path and that’s what he’s been doing. And it shows, really, his love for America and all things American… It’s his view of America. It harks back to the ’50s, the ’60s, (Jack) Kerouac – the road and how important the road is, I guess, to all Americans,” says Paul Green, Halcyon gallery president.
